You cannot doubt that a frenzy of rage would have swept through England if the American Government had declared the Great Mogul to be " belligerent, " in the summer of 1857, and thereby enabled his agents to buy arms and ships at New York, and send them out against English commerce ; yet our ministry did worse than this. Boasting of " neutrality between perjured traitors and a Govern ment allied to us, it insisted on reserving for the rebellious South a right of privateering, against its own mo...ral doctrines, and before the South had come into existence as a naval power, or had any national rights but what England gratuitously gave it, a step utterly unprecedented, and of immense avail to en courage an insurrection, which its own Vice-President had publicly avowed to be without grievances, and to be the "height of madness, folly, and wickedness. " So spoke Mr. Stephens, at the Convention in Georgia, in dissuading Secession. England, which might have reduced bloodshed to a minimum, has inflamed it to a maximum by the acts and speeches of our ministers, under the stimulus of your party.
